Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

[danlb_2000]

So I assume they are building the show building, and you just enter from somewhere inside the pavilion that basically already exists? That would save a lot of time actually, not having to build the fully themed facades and such.

Blue arrow is the entrance and exit.

West?

Yes, west. I'm a goof.

Hmmm.. the west side of the F.pavilion is supposed to be a fire lane. So... just a guess... this will be a wide uncovered walkway so that fire vehicles can use it in emergencies. It won't be until you turn the corner around the pavilion that it will be a covered queue.

It will be a nice view of the IG and gondolas!

Now they'll have to actually find a home for the F&W kiosks instead of leaving them strewn about like a camper on the front lawn.

Yes, you can see that in the permit drawing.

Someone mentioned the a concrete pad has been built behind one of the pavilions to store the kiosks.

If it's the same one I'm thinking of it's behind China and Norway

I'm so glad they are going with Rat instead of BatB. That franchise has already been milked to death at WDW.

This is awesome news, I was at Epcot last week & really enjoyed the France pavilion. The Rat is a welcome addition to World Showcase which could use more rides (hopefully Coco at Mexico ) but once again The RAT

Something I've always wondered about the original attraction- does it use smells? Can you actually smell the food when going through the kitchens?

Coco would just be another re-skin of the existing boat ride though

Yeah good point

I'm so glad they avoided using BatB. We don't need another Princess attraction at Epcot after what happened to Norway with Frozen.

I really love the atmosphere of the Pavilion since it's pretty relaxing.

I heard that guests are able to smell stuff throughout certain sections of the attraction. Although some of the effects at Paris might had stopped working or turned off.

Bizarre.

It's really the perfect spot for traffic flow. There is just that little garden and aurora gazebo over there that once removed will give a large open spot to handle the increased traffic. With a little theming and views out onto the International Gateway waters, with brand new gondolas overhead it should be a pretty nice queue. Almost reminds me of haunted mansion with the rivers of America views.

Also, how good is the attraction? What is it comparable too? In the video it almost looks like Spider-Man at universal with large 3D screens and the vehicles spinning.

Is it considered an E, D ticket?

 

[brb1006]

Bizarre.

I don't see how bizarre the placement is. It actually looks alright.

Updated the supposed map...
